Hi!
I am going to be moving to Nic. in July of 2004,

Does anyone know what I will need to do in order to live there?

Please give us some more details of what you are wanting to do. Retire, volunteer, start a business etc.

I will be moving there to do Mission work so my question really is like what do I need to do in order to move there?? do I have to get approved to live there and if so how do I do this, just those kinda of things like that.
I hope I have been more clear now?
thank you so much!

If you are associated with an organization then they should be able to give you some guidance. You could come as a tourist. You get 90 days. When your time is up either go to Managua and buy more time with Immigration or exit to Honduras or Costa Rica and re-enter for another 90 days. Residency is another option. You will be looking at spending at least $1,200 to comply with the regulations. You will have to prove $500/month income, get a police report, a health report, have your original Birth Certificate and put up a $290 deposit (which most likely you will never see again and it does not draw interest) in a local bank. Do not bring traveller's check because the exchange rate is so poor. Most people bring US dollars or draw a cash advance from their cedit card. A Visa card is better than a Master card. You can also do your debit card. They also have ATM machines. Also, bring new bills..none with cuts, tears, marks, or real worn ones. Hope this helps. If you need additional info I am at sanjuanjohn@yahoo.com

Thank you so much you have been most helpful to me!!
However I won't really be going with anyone it will just be myself and I do know people there I don't know if that really counts or not?!
Thank you again!
